A crazy zaperish Grooms nightmare dream .......way too. short a piece of excellence........loved the bass working its way through the crazy vibes going on.....loved it fav'd and saved
This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…
This is a composition that was realized by playing a Fender Mustang which has a divided pickup connected to a Roland GR-20 guitar to midi converter / synthesizer. The GR-20 generated piano and saxophone sounds (in two passes) which were re-tuned…
Berceuse (means cradle song - or lullaby) by Chopin Op. 57 midi recorded by Ron Lubetsky, M.D. in 1997. And indeed I can tell from the midi file this was a real performance. I ran it through pianoteq in Sonar X1. I hope you enjoy it.

Quiet
Quiet thoughts for quiet fights
Tumbled dry and folded rights
Wrapped up in a candied floss
Shrink-wrap now removed and lost
Curled, crunched into a ball
Out the window, into a wall
Bounce and twist and turn and spin
The truth is beaten…
Calling
There ain't no future without a past
all of the promises that just won't last
I don't believe anymore
Just don't believe anymore
One became two in the sin of despair
beyond the moment where there was a care
I can't breath anymore
Just…
I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011
I travel the synthesizer (two 5 minute tracks) and cymbal rooms at Guitar Center with my Zoom H2. Since I play in the same key more or less it works more or less. Thank you John Cage.
This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…

Often I am asked about the difference between "normal" 12 equal tuning and microtonal tuning.
Thanks to a retuning by Gene Ward Smith to meantone tuning (I don't know which) you can compare this famous piece of music in the familiar 12 equal…
A manipulated ambient-ish piece
Sound sources, 5 string bass, 18" and 14" china cymbal, cornet, mixed tuning, 6 edo, 12 edo, unconstrained pitch.
kudos for anyone who listens to the whole thing.

This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.

actually both parts of the sign, or should I say, both signs, were resonant. And sure if I can talk Debbie into doing the video I'll be happy to - can't be too many traffic sign solos out there :-)

Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
Hi, my 17 guitar is 17 equally spaced notes to the octave. So it has 5 extra frets. I tune it like a regular guitar with small adjustments to take into account the different fret placements.
you can find pictures of the guitar here

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Agree that it's wild, but I like the common thread running through it and the bass work is awesome.
well, it's pretty interesting,,, and as always i enjoy, reading, listening, and learning from your musical journey
Wild stuff.
Wild mix mate very cool thanks for your comments mate. This is very cool.

Simple and impressive little tune :-)
Sax is a great touch!
Very much so.
Chilling stuff! - Wonderful to hear this!
Shout out for these lyrics - brilliant! "Without belief there is no fall The silent solstice will hear no call"
Ozzy Vaisvil!!!!!!!!
Wow, you're so bold! This is an awesome capture. Beautiful playing...
Love your sonic adventures!
This is pretty sweet - lovely laid back tones.
great how well you let sound that shrunky, grats with the tuning and tune :)
I've never seen a guitar like that. Cool!
Lovely upload - don't think I've ever really listened to this piece before. Interesting changes!
*hides*
Nice one mate really dig this.
Nicely done mate.
Comments made by vaisvil
yes I am. With *lots* of rosin on the hair.
naw, I have nothing to do with NMC or DJNS. I was a part of 2 star man and that was enough for me!
excellent - and great solo!
more than just paulstretch I'd say - or different. in any case a cool idea!
I like the groove you two get going on this.
and a lovely romance it was.
can't say I'm done 4ths - I'm usually fixated on 5ths - nice improv - did you play the synth at the same time?
lovely is too mild of a word - this is gorgeous and spell binding.
very enjoyable!
2 am at a smoky bar with an audience mesmerized by the band.
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
the post was not resonant.

a guitar player's guitar player you are!!
I wish I could have seen you do this - great!
this is great!
man... I can't touch this.
ole time radio!
